System and method for rules driven data record reduction

A system, comprising:

• an intake computer system configured to receive data records at a rate of thousands of submissions per year;
• and
• a rules driven processing engine for sequentially applying a selected combination of filters to the data records to effect an expedited processing data flow which reduces a number of data records processed according to a normal processing data flow, the rules driven processing engine communicatively interposed between the intake computer system and a plurality of handler computing devices, each corresponding to a different handler, and configured to:
• receive, from the intake computer system, one or more electronic files including the data records;
• reduce the data records to generate a first subset of reduced data records by application of a first filter rule to the data records that removes each of the data records that does not correspond to a valid policy;
• responsive to generation of the first subset of reduced data records, reduce the first subset of data records to generate a second subset of reduced data records by application of a second filter rule to the first subset of reduced data records that removes each of the data records of the first subset of reduced data records that corresponds to pre-determined legal jurisdictions;
• responsive to generation of the second subset of reduced data records, reduce the second subset of reduced data records to generate a third subset of reduced data records by application of a third filter rule to the second subset of reduced data records that removes each of the data records of the second subset of reduced data records that corresponds to a pre-determined injury type, wherein the third subset of reduced data records comprises a final subset of reduced data records;
• automatically transmit the data records removed by sequential application of the selected combination of filters to a normal workflow module of a workflow management system configured to assign each of the removed data records to a handler based upon a complexity of a claim corresponding to the data record and handler workload, and transmit an electronic file corresponding to each of the removed data records to one of the plurality of handler computing devices;
• automatically transmit the final subset of reduced data records not removed by sequential application of the selected combination of filters to an expedited workflow module of the workflow management system, the expedited workflow module configured to:
• generate a payment for each of the data records of the final subset of reduced data records which has a payment value below a pre-determined threshold;
• transmit each of the data records of the final subset of reduced data records which has a payment value that is not below the pre-determined threshold to one of the plurality of handler computing devices for processing by a handler who specializes in processing of data records transmitted to the expedited workflow module;
• and
• output, to a computing device, a display including data indicative of the final subset of reduced data records.
